Very quickly! Sometimes the entire bloom drops clean with pedicle attached though I often have all fall but the pedicle. It just sits there turning yellow and then drops.
The pod grows from the pedicle. Sometimes the calyx stays on and you can feel the pod swelling under it. Here is a growing pod pushing the old flower off the new pod.

So within a vey short period after the flower dies, you should know!
